It's a shame the thread was derailed like that. It was going well with different views.
The post that was edited was off topic and being abusive to the poster rather than discussing the topic.
As the very next post was from the same person discussing the topic I took the first one out, sending a PM to give a gentle warning.

Let's get back on track please then no more warnings needed.

Is that an example or are you saying I’m incredibly irritating?

Haven’t done owt wrong anyway so not bothered

Wolfie has a place at Wire.
The coolest mascot in sport.

Bit of an overreaction hey. It seems I wasn't the only one not to know the history of that name - well, you live & learn but you'd have thought I'd had had some malicious dig at your club with that response.

How many teams have binned their nickname from the original ones?

Wakefield obviously
Hull were Sharks now FC again
St Helens were Saints for a while and dropped that.
Salford with Red Devils and Reds?
London a few times.

Any others?

I'd also say, as badges and logos go, Widnes is my favourite.
Very professional and not too in your face. Could easily be a company logo.

Halifax- were the Blue Sox at the start of SL..

We were known as Huddersfield Barracudas in the 80's and then obviously Huddersfield-Sheffield Giants more recently...

More examples in the the NRL I reckon as most clubs have been through mergers. Would be interesting to see which side has the seen more changes (purely for fun, not that it matters)

was not aware that St helens have dropped the saints, pretty sure its used thoroughly in there marketing and everyday use.

Hull sharks essentially where the old Hull club who ceased to exists after they were taken over by Gateshead essentially in s reverse takeover situation, post takeover/merger this Hull club is a new club, also don't think Hull were officially known as Hull Fc, affectionately they may have been referred to as Hull Fc, but think it has only been used in official terms as Hull Fc since the merger/takeover.

Don’t even think Hull had Sharks for that long, wasn’t it only about 2 or 3 seasons? Hardly can expect it to get over in that time. Personally the Hull FC name is one I don’t like the most, Just makes it sound like a football club. Be better as Hull RL or simply just Hull imo.

Could just as easily be three t*ts

I thought they made them call themselves St Helens Saints.
They changed it back to St Helens as the name and Saints just a brand on the badge.
Any Sts fans confirm?

Done some reading up, Theyve also had the names St Helens Football Club and were briefly known as St Helens Rangers during the 1880’s

Guess you've not seen many tits.
